Jurrah's Mark

Featured Replies

Having seen both marks again, I think the height that Jurrah reached and his prolonged hang time should see him win it.

Goddard's was phenomenal, but the ride was shorter and he didn't reach the same height. I mean Jurrah leaped over Watts who is 196cm.

Both great marks, and which ever one wins the nomination this week will no doubt go on to win the overall award (and the crappiest prize in the history of competitions!)

could Watts turn into the new Gary Lyon?

Watts will be a very nervous man everytime there is a long high kick put into F50, waiting for the Jurrahcane to arrive on his shoulders, just like Farmer used to on Lyon

 

I'll work on that ;)

Good on ya!! My Hatred of the white Clash Strip continues & WILL NOT DIE!!!! B) B) B)

Will do :)

Carn Dees!!

Let's get behind LJ and ensure he gets the car.... vote now!

Also regarding the respective heights LJ and Goddard achieved, one way of looking at it is that LJ jumped on Jack Watts (196cm) shoulders, whilst BJ rode Sam Fisher's (191cm).

Jurrah was therefore 5cm higher, rode longer and just looked more stylish.

Breathtaking.

 

For comparison.

jurah was on watts shoulders! massive leap...watts is 196cm tall...from the footage i saw LJ didn't even touch watts or use his hands to assit in the ride...

if it doesn't get mark of the year it will probably go close to being in the top 10 marks of the decade. . .

and Jackson Trengove(the port player) was 197cm


and Jackson Trengove(the port player) was 197cm

even higher ! plus they were on tippy toes !

that is high ! Goddard doesn't stand a chance. :rolleyes:

As suggested by why you litle, I photoshop'd Jurrah's mark so that he is wearing the historic red and blue jumper (see previous page).

I was further prompted to perhaps send this to the footy club and make a bit of a statement.

Here was my email:

Hi fellow Demon!!

As the season draws to a close for us Demons, so too (hopefully) ends our white strip that is very "un-Demon-like", to say the least.

Liam Jurrah's mark. It will go down in history for the Demons as one of our great marks (along with Farmer's and Smith's!). But with the white strip donned by Jurrah and his teammates against Port, this scintillating image will leave people wondering who he played for in 40 years down the track!!!

I have attached a Photoshop'd image of Jurrah in the Dees' traditional guernsey - see the difference it makes! I am hoping you may be able to forward it on to the relevant personnel in the hope that this simple image may create an even more eagerness to keep our traditional red and blue as much as possible.

Thanks for your time,

And the response:

Good Morning,

Thank you for your email and continued support of the Melbourne Football Club. Your email has been forwarded to the marketing department.

Kind Regards,

Will keep everyone informed. :)

Comic Sans.

Says it all really.

Excuse me? Would you like to elaborate please?

Or else... mouth shut and butt out.

Cheers.

Fairly ridiculous email to send the club.

Eyes would have been rolling all over the shop.

Comic sans is fitting.


I'd love to see our Club produce a poster of LJ's mark. I'm sure that many of us Demons fans would be happy to buy one (especially if it wins MOTY). Maybe we could even do a quick whip around and sent a bundle of then to adorn the walls in Yuendumu.

Good Stuff....

Liam has taken a while to recover the confidence in his shoulder, following his major surgery earlier in the year. He's been dying to take a screamer like this one for a few weeks now and if he has a good pre-season, get ready for something special in 2011 as you ain't seen nothing yet.

Good on ya

Hey fellow supporters,

I am a painter, and whilst photo posters are excellent, if you want to get really serious, only a painting will do. I would be happy to accept commissions from any of you! It has so many fabulous facets to it, that I suspect I'll paint a version anyway(with the 'home' uniform and shorts in replacement) My avatar is in fact a 'front on' view of the Shaun Smith mark using artists models (it's a bit hard to see I know). It is one of a triptych....front on, TV side view, and opposite side view. They are 5 foot tall, acrylic on canvas. I've also done a couple of modern impressionistic portraits of Tom Wills, both very football specific. If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can provide the relevant link to www.flickr.com where they (and the Shaun Smith) are in much higher def.

Yeah I'm sure we would like to see. Post the link.

Will be very interested to see if you go ahead with the painting. Would be great and I bet you could sell a bundle of prints. Maybe you could do a deal with the club

Good luck

You need to be registered at yahoo (no strings attached), as 'flickr' is a photo/picture networking associated site. Then go to www.flickr.com/photos/daubings. Tom Wills paintings are on the second page.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
